    I am currently considering the Fostex TH-600 and the Beyerdynamic T5p.  I have searched the forms and the web, but I can't find much in the way of direct comparisons between these two models of headphones.  I would really appreciate some input.  I currently have a pair of AKG K550 headphones and...
